Mother Still Cares
Not knowing the truth of life is extremely dangerous and because of this she made many errors before she got to know Wat Phra Dhammakaya. The DMC channel made us aware of the truth of life. This is fundamental because to lead a wrong life is more painful than not being alive.
Be Part of History in the Making
To commemorate the 53th anniversary of the Dhammakaya Temple, we are constructing a holy memorial to inspire Buddhists and Buddhist meditation practitioners to keep working on becoming the best versions of themselves.
